So for quite some time now, maybe this started happening around 15 or 16 idk but I started getting these episodes where I would trip out and lose touch of reality for a moment. Like bits from my dreams would come to my mind in my waking conscious moments, like I would feel as though I could almost see or hear something and I would recognize it from a dream or elsewhere then other times I would just feel really trippy like I would just sit or stand in a single position waiting for the episode to pass, when it would happen I would just feel very faint and flashed then I would kind of start having an episode that the best way to describe it is like dreaming while awake, the way your mind feels in the hypnogogic state. This just happened to me again this morning when I woke up, the last time it happened was like 2015 - 2016. So the best way I can describe this is like dreaming while awake, your mind runs you have random thoughts and images come to you and you start feeling really floaty and zoned out. I'm still feeling pretty disoriented, when it happens I get really disoriented and ... Editors note As I typed out those dots another episode happened. I just got done zoning out feeling all trippy and everything.
Now listen
I just want to say two things and also I would like for this thread to be taken seriously and for only useful replies to be posted here
ok with that said above I have two other questions I would like for you to answer:
1 - Is this a real website with real people and not just some honey pot with a few trolls trying to torment me 2 - I'm not schizophrenic, have been to therapy four times and got a cat scan and urine test and both results came out fine so what could be the source behind my episodes and mental issues 3 - Could this be taken care of with the right daily dose of vitamins and supplements as well as eating right and exercising?
A hypnagogic state of mind while having your body fully awake is a rare but well sought after thing. I would totally elaborate on the full spectrum of possibilities it has, but that information would be dangerous in the wrong hands.
However i can mention some benefits, such as increased suggestibility, which can help you "beat" your ego, quit smoking, or start working out, get increased awareness etc. Countless of benefits to be had, so you should totally explore this state of mind. And yes, meds could probably deal with it but you shouldn't do that.
You getting the right amount of sleep? Intense workouts?
I have a few ideas, but I'll ask you a number of questions first that will help me rule them out. You mentioned it feels like hypnagogia - are you tired when these episodes happen, or do you feel tired when they're over? Are there any conditions (i.e. sleep deprivation, stress, etc.) that predict when it's likely to occur? Are there colors around people or unusual sounds around the time it happens? Do you experience any sensations in your head, before or after the incident?
As for your other questions: 1) I don't think so. If it is, we're both in trouble. (RELEASE THE LOGS) 2) I don't believe that you are, but I do think that you should see a neurologist and share your concerns with them. They'll be interested in what you have to say. 3) Probably not. I wouldn't try, either. Whatever this is, you want it diagnosed right away, not masked for years until it transforms into something you can't handle OTC.
If the government wanted to arrest you for being a video game playing transient who bums around smoking and drinking, they would just do it at any time. You think they'd hire people to create fictional personalities online to investigate that?

I heard this is how people do it. It's called gaslighting for info
they'll make you feel fine with happy gas or they will say shit about your Mother

This is most probably due to a brain tumor.
If it were a brain tumor we'd likely see an escalation of varying symptoms as it grows into and presses on other regions of the brain, even metastisizing to other regions of the body. OP has had consistent symptomology for a very long time, however. Your medical diagnostics are exactly as useful as your technological capabilities.

To answer your question OP what you’re seeing is the code of the matrix breaking down around you. It mostly only happens when the admins apply an update patch. You’re not even supposed to notice it, there must be something wrong with your interface for it to happen multiple times.
But don’t worry I’ve logged a ticket and someone from IT Support will come round shortly to take a look at it :)
In the meantime here is some soothing music for you to mellow out to:

Sleep paralysis/hypnagogic hallucinations
That was my first thought, but OP seems to indicate that this happens while awake and with minimal warning.
I want to know is whether there are perceptual distortions that accompany this sensation, and whether there might be any predictive phenomena surrounding it.
